Alexander Column In St. Petersburg
From the creator of the marvelous St. Isaac's Cathedral came this monument to the Russian military victory in the war with Napoleon's France. Named after Emperor Alexander I, who ruled Russia between 1801 and 1825 (during the Napoleonic Wars), the column is a terrific piece of architecture and engineering.
The Alexander Column (Aleksandrovskaia Kolonna), the focal point of Palace Square, was designed by the French-born architect Auguste de Montferrand and built between 1830 and 1834. The monument is 155 feet 8 inches tall and is topped with a statue of an angel holding a cross (the face of the angel is said to be modeled on the face of Emperor Alexander I). The body of the column is made of a single monolith of red granite, which stands 83 feet 6 inches high and about 11 feet 5 inches in diameter. It is a terrific feat of engineering that this enormous column, weighing an incredible 1,322,760 pounds (600 tons), was erected in under 2 hours without the aid of modern cranes and engineering machines.
The pedestal of the Alexander Column is decorated with symbols of military glory. The monument is particularly impressive on a sunny evening shortly before dusk, when the last beams of sunlight are reflected in the polished red granite of the column.

RUSSIA: YELTSIN ADDS HIS SUPPORT FOR THE REMOVAL OF LENIN'S BODY
Natural Sound
Russian President Boris Yeltsin has added his support to calls for the removal of Lenin's mummified body from Moscow's Red Square.
Yeltsin made the suggestion Friday during a visit to Saint Petersburg - the city often described as the cradle of the 1917 Bolshevik revolution.
He was accompanied on the trip by the acting prime minister, Anatoly Chubais, adding weight to rumours that prime minister Viktor Chernomyrdin may be about to resign.
Russian President Boris Yeltsin arriving for a one-day visit to Russia's second city, Saint Petersburg.
In a move likely to bring him into conflict with the Russian Duma (parliament), Yeltsin said Lenin's mummified body should be returned to the city, the former Leningrad.
He added that there should be a nationwide referendum on the issue.
The body of the first Soviet leader has been on display in a granite and marble mausoleum in Moscow since his death in 1924.
Yeltsin also proposed clearing the whole of the Red Square in Moscow from what he described as graveyard topping, a reference to Soviet officials buried in the red brick wall behind the mausoleum.
His comments to a gathering of Russia's leading scholars and artists appear to put Yeltsin on a collision course with the communist-dominated Russian Duma.
The parliament recently voted overwhelmingly to ban any architectural changes to Red Square.
Yeltsin also took the opportunity to mark the 198th birthday of Russia's greatest
national poet Alexander Pushkin.
He lay flowers at the monument erected to Pushkin in Art Square.
The President then walked toward the Russian State Museum located in the same square to take part in a meeting of the presidential council for culture and art.
During his speech Yeltsin gave a vote of support to Russian nationalism.
He urged Russian cities to clear out foreign-language advertising and television stations to reduce the number of cheap American movies.
The Russian President was accompanied on his visit by Anatoly Chubais, his First Deputy Prime Minister while incumbent premier Viktor Chernomyrdin is on vacation.
Moscow is currently awash with rumours that the Russian Prime Minister is on the verge of resignation after losing most of his powers to Chubais, the architect of Russian privatisation programme, and the first vice-premier Boris Nemtsov.
Chubais, who launched his political career in Saint Petersburg, accompanied Yeltsin to the Lomo factory, which makes optical instruments.
As well as being a major cultural centre, the city is famous for its microscopes and other optical instruments.
But, as in so many parts of Russia, its workers have not been paid for months.
Yeltsin's trip is seen by some as an attempt to study the wage crisis and look for possible solutions.
